Now in its 16th season, “The Voice” has given a voice to musicians from all over by providing a platform for artists at various stages in their career to be heard by the world. The single truth about music is that it can touch us deeply in ways that other art can’t as easily — we can dance, cry, laugh and love to it as soon as we feel the first beat or hear the first note of a singer’s voice. Artists of all genres have moved us through their performances on the show, none more so now than the voices of these artists we’ve lost over the years.

Team Miley started off The Voice season 13 in a very strong spot. However, the longer the season has gone the rougher things have become. The biggest blow to Miley's chances of winning The Voice came recently as Janice Freeman was shockingly eliminated. However, in the wake of Janice's loss one of Miley's two remaining artists stepped up to fill the void. After being a passable but unremarkable presence on The Voice, Brooke Simpson delivered a stand-out performance in The Voice's Top 10 with a powerful rendition of "Amazing Grace." With one amazing routine, Brooke became a contender to win the whole season.
